Guest Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I've never won so much as a tenner on the lottery in all this time, I'm overdue something back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazB Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I genuinely thought I had won £120K on a scratch card once until I realised I had misread the terms on it. I died a little bit inside.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star1234 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Believe it or not, I've not actually played since my £4.90 windfall. However, I threw caution to the wind last night & bought another ticket (same numbers). They've just emailed me to say I've won again....a whopping £2.70! I think there maybe something in this. As before, no begging letters please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarmOKnee Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 When it first started, me and 3 members of my family had a syndicate. I think we had 6 lines & permed the numbers. In the first year we used to get £10 wins regularly, then we had a big win of around £6,000 for 5 numbers on one line plus other lines of 4 numbers & 3 numbers etc with the perm. So near but yet so far! After that we kept the same numbers for another 12 months or so, but never even got a tenner! So we quit. Haven't bought a ticket since.

tzijlstra Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I got a massive 3 numbers and pne of those extra numbers in the Euro Millions tonight! Of course, it didn't tell me how much that was good for, I was expecting.... Hundreds? Maybe over a thousand? Nope. I won 9,70. Not even a tenner.

Jeffrey Shaw Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 True. The National Lottery's minimum win is £10. But the EuroLottery's lack of a minimum is outweighed by the much higher jackpots. You win some, you lose some. [Although in lotteries it's usually the latter!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have, Many years ago I won £312 on the lottery, but my joy soon turned to sorrow when my dream success suddenly turned into a nightmare.. Winning on the lottery was the worst thing that ever happened to me, I wish I had never set eyes on the money, it brought me nothing but heartache. I couldn't believe my luck when the cheque arrived through my letter box, immediately the celebrations and the spending began.. I went out and spent, spent, spent, I'd never had money like that, and I was throwing it around like confetti. In one week alone I bought a new vacuum cleaner, a new Thermos Flask for work, and had my toaster repaired, I was spending like there was no tomorrow... Then begging letters started to arrive, everyone needed money, Friends, mates, relatives, and even strangers were asking for cash, and like a fool I gave it them... Meanwhile the lavish spending continued, I even treat the wife to a brand new cover for her ironing board, and in the garden I splashed out on a new Paraffin heater for the Greenhouse, and some seed trays....... It was only the best for me, No expense spared, I was living like a king, thinking it would last for ever. I didn't realise it, but the money was dwindling, I was going out at nights and buying drinks for my mates, and on one occasion I even paid for a taxi home, I was loving every minute of it.... The the real problems started, I started to gamble. I've never gambled in my life, but one night I spotted a fruit machine in a pub, and that was it.. Before I knew what had happened, I'd stuffed £1-60 into it.. I had no change left, so I went to the bar to get some more, by the end of the evening I must have lost £2-50. When I awoke the next morning I was physically sick. Only months after receiving my cheque, I'd squandered the lot, I owed the newsagent 2weeks paper money, and had a final reminder for the phone bill which was £27. My only regret was not taking the wife on a dream holiday, We'd always talked about going on a dream holiday in a caravan to Wales, A once in a lifetime holiday... Wasn't to be... Despite it all, if I ever win again, I will prolly (probably) do the same again....I must admit, I enjoyed it while it lasted.................

Guest Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Most I have won was around €500 10 years ago and £100 on thunderball lottery in 2017. I am more a type for occasionall. £2-5 both to score accumulator than for lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
